About our grease trap cleaning in Beauchamp Roding
Grease trap cleaning keeps the drains running and the smells away. The fat, oil, grease and solids are taken out and the chambers and baffles cleaned, and check the trap is working properly. Common call-outs are for gurgling drains in the kitchen and grease setting in the kitchen pipework, across restaurants and takeaways, school and care home kitchens and inline grease traps.
For a kitchen in or near Beauchamp Roding, the visit is planned ahead, around opening times and the journey.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Collect waste cooking oil separately
- Get food waste into the bin, not the sink
- Report slow or smelly sinks early
- Do not store things on top of the trap
We’ll suggest when the trap should be cleaned again. It’s based on how full it was and how busy the kitchen is.
More cooking means more grease in the trap. Shortening the cleaning interval now stops it overflowing.
Part by part
